WHY are the wheat ones 350MG and yours are 40 with the rice. I need gluten free, but that is a big difference between 350 and 40mg

Hi Pegasus, Thank you for bringing up this question. This is a common misconception that 40mg of Rice phytoceramides are not equivalent to 350mg of wheat based phytoceramides. There was a study done for rice phytoceramides using 40 mg dosage over a six-week period. The formula used in InstaNatural during this study was used to moisturize skin naturally and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles better than other wheat based ceramides. Our rice phytoceramides are much more powerful than wheat-based ceramides, including 350 mg wheat ceramides. Statistics from the study published June 1, 2000 by the Institute of General Medical Sciences, Soiken, Japan. So if you were to take this formula, you don't need 350 mg. This is completely different than the wheat based phytoceramides. Hope this helps. Thank yo u. AJ

I too am happy to report to you that they are gluten-free. Many of their other otc supplements are gluten-free as well.

K.Peterson, I'm sorry that I couldn't be more help...I sent you in the right direction unfortunately there was no help forthcoming from the manufacturer...As I said there is a good chance that the product has gluten although in a very minimal amount...As much as you might want S.O.D. for all it's properties may I suggest Glutathione which would not contain gluten...

All rice IS gluten-free...until it's processed on the same equipment as wheat. Then, it constitutes a 'challenge' to the injured intestines of someone with celiac (like my recently-diagnosed son, who's been losing weight rapid-fire over the past several months, basically because his intestines are unable to absorb nutrient, and he was slowly starving). It MUST say 'gluten'free' on the packaging, or someone with celiac MUST assume that it is not. Man, a LOT to learn out there...

I just noticed in bold print on the box:CONTAINS WHEAT AND SOY. Sorry...maybe another brand of probiotics would not have wheat and soy.

Frustrating, isn't it? I've been searching like crazy for buckwheat noodles that don't actually contain wheat gluten myself. I have to think though that the product name is acceptable in the same way 'chocolate chip pancakes' or 'cinnamon rice chex' are acceptable names. They just mean that the ingredient is included. (Still a bummer though!)

Hello. This is an important question so I decided to answer it myself. The short answer is no. But please read on to understand what options may be better choice for you. Heres a somewhat detailed explanation and guideline to what to look for when purchasing from us or other providers of Phytoceramides. When you look around and compare different phytoceramide products, you will find different recommendations by different companies. The most "popular" dose seems to be 350mg for the sole reason Dr Oz recommended that. At the time of his broadcast and the sources he used at the time, they discussed wheat and gluten based dosages only, witch in summary is a very misleading or simplified recommendation. But many just promt follow that and ask for this dosage and nothing more. The most potent research we now have access to comes from another direction and continent all together - Japan. High quality Rice based Phytoceramides are superior all together, but dosages are different. In recent studies 40mg of daily rice based supplementation was more than sufficient for optimal results and performed better than phytoceramides from sweet potatoe and other sources. So that is what we have included in our supplement. Please beware that MANY companies take advantage of the "prescribed" 350mg dosage and use shady marketing tactics and vague description on their supplement facts tables. You get 350mg of what exactly? Even we dont really know that. Hope this helped you to see things from several perspectives. Best of luck with your purchase of Phytoceramides.

Hello Ms. Mack, I checked all the ingredients in the soup against several websites that list safe and unsafe foods for gluten-free diets. The only ingredient that might POSSIBLY have wheat is the dehydrated chicken broth, but that is very unlikely. All the other ingredients are safe. To double-check, I sent an e-mail to the manufacturer, but they won't get back to me until Monday. I'm not a doctor and I don't have celiac disease myself, but I would say based on my research that this product is gluten-free. And it's a yummy, relatively healthy snack! Thanks for reading my review. :)

The only thing I can find on the bottle is "phytoceramides (from rice)". Nothing about gluten or wheat.

I hope it worked for you as well as it did for me with the rice. However, if you are Gluten intolerant, you should look into a company called GF Harvest, I believe their website is www.gfharvest.com because they produce a lot of different varieties of oats and oatmeal that is all gluten free. They are a great company and also have great tasting oats!

Hello Kelly. Yes there are. Now, we cannot link to external web pages from Amazon, but we suggest you start by using search (Google, etc.) to find studies comparing wheat, rice, sweet potatoes and a few more plant derived Ceramide sources. You will find japanese studies since they are the ones who lead the way. Phytoceramides where not accepted by the FDA until 2012, so research here is behind on relevant studies. The paradox in Dr Oz review and reports is that he spends the major part of a whole episode looking at gluten/wheat and all illnesses that are correlated to our massive intake of wheat. So supplementation with wheat base Ceramides may be something to consider from that perspective also. As long as you use solid and verifiable ingredients, then you are good to go. Lipowheat is a good and solid brand/patent and works for many. Our ingredients are different in dosage, are gluten free and has research behind it. Comparing what works best for you is always the best thing.

40 mg of rice ceramides beat the 1 mg of sweet potatoes and the 200 to 350 mg of lipowheat in medical studies by third party doctors from germany and japan. also there were no side effects, unlike wheat which is gluten and many people are allergic to it and don't even know it! go with the rice you won't be disappointed. i know i am happy! When dr oz said 350mg he was referring to the weight of the capsule, the size of the dosage on the bottle he had said 350mg. all pills in phytoceramides are 350mg size dosage. what matters is the ingredient and the power it has in clinical studies and the 40mg rice wins. google it 40 mg of rice ceramides beat the 1 mg of sweet potatoes and the 200 to 350 mg of lipowheat in medical studies by third party doctors from germany and japan. also there were no side effects, unlike wheat which is gluten and many people are allergic to it and don't even know it! go with the rice you won't be disappointed. i know i am happy!

The label says "Rice Bran oil, softgel capsule (gelatin, glycerine, water, calcium carbonate) soy lecithin and yellow beeswax" ... "Not manufactured with wheat gluten, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens." Also, the magnesium in the pills is magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide. I hope this is helpful

Soy - they have Rice ones as well. The soy based ones, in my opinion, taste better but they sometimes hurt my stomach (I am sensitive to soy)
